0ddcf3a6b442 ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Avoid potential read before
start of the buffer") moved the length == 0 up to before stripping the '\n'
which typically gets added when users echo a value to a sysfs-attribute
from the shell.
This avoids a potential buffer-underrun, but it also causes a behavioral
change, prior to this change "echo > kbdlang", iow writing just a single
'\n' would result in an EINVAL error, but after the change this gets
accepted setting kbdlang to an empty string.
Fix this by replacing the manual '\n' check with using strchrnul() to get
the length till '\n' or terminating 0 in one go; and then do the
length != 0 check after this.
